James Degale gets yet another World Class opponent!

[superheavyrhun]

Boxing News | James DeGale opponent named: Dire Davis

Dyah Dire Davis!

I hear if Degale gets through this tough test, Hennessy has this big name opponent lined up next:

Just had to make some corrections there.

His last two defeats have been against reasonable fighters, Bika and Pryor Jr, but definitely no world beater!

After this idiot left Warren he turned down Matchroom to sign with Hennessy. Turns Pro as an Olympic gold medalist, five years later is a virtual nobody

Check Frochs first five years. Fought absolutely no one of note!

There is time for De Gale. Isnt he the Euro champ? Thtas further forward than Froch was 5 uears in to his career.

he is the wbc silver champ isnt he

to be fair to him hes had less than 20 fights, how many fighters with less than 20 fights would be fighting top world class fighters

i dont think his record is any worse than groves and everyone is happy with groves progress

he's just not had the same exposure

he's gone on to channel 5 and is almost like their third fighter

Froch didn't turn pro with a Gold medal and headline PPV cards in his 11th/12th fight. The point is - DeGale is less relevant now than back then. Sad

[Fenster]

I quite like DeGale, I think he's a top talent. He's thick as shit. But I don't hold that against people

[FinitoElDinamita]

But, compare it to Groves. Groves is running laps around the poor guy.

Groves could take a battering by Froch and that will be not good for his career.

Groves wont last long. He doesnt have a bad chin but its not world class, its not even great for british standard. He has the piss taken out of him being KO'd in sparring.

So far De Gale doesnt have any issues or rumours about his chin.

[Master]

I am more excited about Eubanks Jnr.

[ykdadamaja]

Degale needs to ramp up his aggression. He is just not aggressive enough.

All you do is compare fighters, against each other.

Your comparison is DUMB.

DeGale turned pro as a gold medalist, he was still only 22.
Froch turned pro quite late, at 25, and he doesn't have the excellent amatuer career DeGale does.

Young olympians and gold medalists usually get brought on at a fair pace, look at Lomachencko.

course its a good comparison, what does it matter what they did before they turned pro?

their professional careers are being compared and ross reckons degales is a bit further forward than frochs was at the same time (and i tend to agree)

nowt wrong with that
